Chapter 16 But, he is a tyrant
When the time comes, the Queen Mother will have someone call him to ask questions.
The Queen Mother's eyes are sharp, as if she can see through people's hearts. He often panics because of lying, for fear that the Queen Mother will know that he has been deceiving Xiao Jian, and he is afraid that everything will be lost.
And the Emperor, although the Emperor has been very busy in recent years and never asked him about his sister, but Shangguan Jinghong knows that among the things sent to the General's Mansion, there are gifts from the Emperor, but they are just mixed in with the gifts from the Queen Mother.
Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor has been very relaxed with him in the past half month and rarely called him to ask questions. He guessed that the Emperor knew that Xiao Jian had given birth and wanted him to go home more often to accompany her.
"General, go home quickly, the princess said she still feels uncomfortable in her chest!" Shangguan Jinghong, who had just walked out of the palace, was thinking about whether to go to the East Garden to see Lian'er, but unexpectedly, Lai Fu was already waiting.
"Heartache? Let her find the imperial physician, why is she looking for me!" Shangguan Jinghong gritted his teeth and said viciously: "She'd better not let me know that she did it on purpose, if so, hum!"
"General, there's Nanny Jin here now, it's not easy to deal with, you should be careful." Lai Fu reminded.
"Got it!" Lai Fu was his mother's cousin. Although he was a servant in the mansion, Shangguan Jinghong still respected him, because if he was disrespectful, his mother would scold him. Sitting in the carriage, Shangguan Jinghong rubbed his eyebrows and said with a fierce look: "It seems that we have to send someone to find Yizhichun in the Western Regions again!"
"General!" Lai Fu wanted to dissuade him, but he touched his cheek. He had been slapped more than once by Nanny Jin in the past twenty days. His chest still hurts because he walked too fast and almost bumped into the old witch.
Lai Fu suddenly thought that if the general could get the rare, colorless and tasteless medicine, he would get some and poison the old witch to death.
For three consecutive days, Shangguan Jinghong attended court during the day and had to wait on the small bed outside the princess's room at night. Whenever Ruoxi wanted to breastfeed at night, he had to wake up because Xiao Jian would feel uncomfortable.
After only three days, Shangguan Jinghong was about to collapse.
On this day, Shangguan Jinghong came to the Imperial Hospital with bloodshot eyes.
Xiao Ruilin no longer needed acupuncture. He just needed to recuperate for a few days and then be guided to wake up.
Therefore, Wen Xu has not been to the General's Mansion for several days recently.
"Imperial Physician Wen!" Shangguan Jinghong looked at Wen Xu who was buried in studying medical books and called out.
Wen Xu raised his head and immediately smiled: "General, why do you look like this? Are you sick?"
"Yes, I am sick." Shangguan Jinghong nodded, and then said: "It's not me who is sick, it's the princess, Yue'er is sick!"
"Ah? The princess is sick?" Wen Xu frowned and said: "A few days ago, when I was giving acupuncture to the young master in the general's mansion, the princess was in good condition. How come she is sick now? What is the disease?"
"I want to vomit, feel uncomfortable, and my chest is always stuffy!" Shangguan Jinghong said.
"It's not a problem. It may be caused by depression in the chest. Most women in confinement are like this. General, just accompany her more." Wen Xu said with a smile.
"But, I have been with her for quite a while, and she doesn't seem to be getting better... If you have time, you should go to the General's Mansion and help me check it out!" Shangguan Jinghong raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. It hurt, it hurt.
"Since the general said so, I will go there again after I finish these things." Wen Xu said.
"Okay!" Shangguan Jinghong nodded, turned around and left.
"General!" Wen Xu called out, and when Shangguan Jinghong turned around, he smiled and said, "More company is the best medicine. Women, you need to coax them more!"
"You... seem to understand women very well!" Shangguan Jinghong sneered.
"That's not the case. I read a lot of books and understand a little bit!" Wen Xu was still indifferent, as gentle as the wind. Shangguan
Jinghong, on the other hand, was full of anger and exhausted.
Wen Xu went to the General's Mansion a day later.
He was not going to see the princess, but to report the news and to tell her about the progress of the full-moon banquet in the palace.
"The full-moon banquet is temporarily being secretly organized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The officials' families will be notified the day before the banquet to avoid giving them too much time to prepare, which would cause all kinds of problems!" Wen Xu said.
"This should be the idea of my uncle whom I have never met. It seems that he is a very thoughtful person!" Baby Ruoxi waved her little hands, expressing that she was very pleased. Xiaoyao
grabbed his daughter's little hand, his eyes were gentle: "Xi'er, you will definitely like your uncle. Your uncle is a very good person. He is not only handsome, but also brave and smart. He is a real wise king!"
"But he is a tyrant!" Baby Ruoxi blew a bubble.
Xiao Jian smiled bitterly, she didn't know how to explain to her daughter.
When the emperor was old, he was very incompetent, even the queen mother was sad.
The emperor also provoked a war among his sons, causing them to kill each other.
Her brother risked his life to protect himself and his mother. In the end, the old and incompetent emperor died in the Yangxin Palace without leaving a single word.
The new emperor ascended the throne for three years and ruled the country with brutal means. In the end, he managed a precarious country with internal and external troubles to the current stable stage.
If it weren't for those means, Xiao Jian knew that her brother, she and her mother would definitely be swallowed up.
"But, after listening to what Nanny Jin said about my uncle the emperor, I feel that the uncle the emperor is not that violent. His methods are nothing compared to those hypocrites I met!" When baby Ruoxi recalled that she was forced to chase and hunt all the way in her previous life, she got angry.
"Xi'er, you will be able to see your uncle in a few days. Your uncle will definitely take special care of Xi'er!" Xiao Jian said.
"The emperor has always been very fond of children. He likes several princes in the harem very much." Wen Xu said with a smile.
"Come to think of it, Ting'er should be fifteen years old, right?" Xiao Jian asked.
"Yes, the eldest prince is fifteen years old." Wen Xu nodded.
"Well, I was the one who brought up Ting'er!" Xiao Jian shook his head: "I wonder if he will still recognize me if we meet again!"
"Yes, the princes are all very smart." Wen Xu comforted.
Nanny Jin also talked to Xiao Jian about the things in the palace.
"It's Lipin who will be the queen, which suits her personality. Her mother's family is also good and can assist the emperor brother!" Xiao Jian said.
"Hey, that's not necessarily true!" Ruoxi helplessly flipped through the history books again, then sighed. Xiaoyao
looked at her daughter, and waited for a long time, but she didn't get any further news from her daughter. She frowned, but she was muttering in her heart: My dear, tell me, is the prime minister going to rebel?
